Australian tech entrepreneur Bevan Slattery wants to build a new $1.5bn digital superhighway, boasting speeds 10 billion times faster than NBN s top offering and providing a safe geopolitical communications channel for local and global businesses. Dubbed HyperOne, the proposed hyperscale 10,000-terabits-a-second network, includes laying optical fibre in the ground across 20,000km, connecting capital cities in every state and territory for the first time. The network will be designed for use by businesses that need heavy data movement, for instance major cloud and data services providers such as Amazon, Google and Facebook, but also telcos, defence companies and other satellite businesses. It also will provide transmission to local distribution networks such as the National Broadband Network and mobile operators.

CANBERRA, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) A proposed data superhighway would turn the Northern Territory (NT) into Australia s digital gateway to Asia.
The 1.5 billion Australian dollar (1.16 billion U.S. dollar) HyperOne project proposed by technology entrepreneur Bevan Slattery would involve connecting all of Australia s capital cities for the first time via 20,000 kilometers of fibre network.
An interconnection point for undersea cables into Australia from Asia would be built in Darwin.
The project would create 10,000 jobs during construction and be capable of transmitting 10,000 terabits of data per second.
According to Slattery it would be the largest private digital infrastructure network of its kind in Australia and would deliver more transmission capacity than any other network.
